Osprey Women's Tempest Velocity 20L Backpack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Tempest backpack. It sits high and is well-structured, allowing me to carry it comfortably without sagging while hiking. It feels noticeably better than my previous packs. I used it on a long hike where I needed to carry more gear, and it never weighed me down—I was able to navigate the terrain comfortably even with the extra load. One area for improvement would be the top cover. A more secure closure, such as a zipper, would be helpful. One of the strings came loose and had to be rethreaded, which was a bit of a hassle. A more secure and user-friendly closure system would make this backpack even better.

It's taken me years to find a bag that fits my very short body, and which doesn't aggravate my hips and doesn't cut into my boobs. This bag is amazing, super lightweight, roomy, great fit for my small (short) body and has loads of handy pockets and pouches. The hydration sleeve was a must have, so I'm really pleased it's a feature too. Lots of adjustment options to get a perfect fit. It's worth the money for a bag with so many features that fits. Highly recommended.

I am using this bag to jog to work with my laptop, headphones, notebook, clothes and other stuff! It has really good support, good amount of space, very useful accessible pockets. It's really great. Will also use it for a hiking trip in the summer. Perfect size and very stable and comfortable to run with. Excellent!

Dies what you would expect Well designed well balanced and comfortable for all day walks Would recommend

I bought this for female team members and it excelled as a day pack on via ferrata, and hikes; the front storage being popular when climbing also when walking. “Didn’t realise I was wearing it”, was my favourite comment.

Broke this backpack in on a 17.5 mile hike up Half Dome in Yosemite. Pros: - Comfortable. I'm 5'2" and purchased the XS/S. Had no issues with fit or straps digging in anywhere through the 11 hour hike. All straps are adjustable. - Vest straps are awesome. I stuffed my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in one of the front pockets. Secure fit. Having my phone in an easily accessible place was the selling point for me. I typically stick my phone in a phone pouch strapped to the chest straps of my other hiking bags and usually nervous about the phone pouch flinging off. - Fits a lot of stuff: had two 1.5L bladders, two sandwiches, a day's worth of snacks, rain cover, jacket, wipes/day-hike toiletries, headlamp, Nalgene bottle, trash bag, battery pack, gloves, and was 50% full. - One of the pouches on the waist strap has an easy access/unzippered pouch. This was awesome for trash-on-the-go. I stuffed my remnants of energy gel packets here. Cons: - There are no compartments in the body of the bag. It's one big roomy compartment in the back and a small stash compartment in the front. - The cinch closure top is kind of annoying and I would've preferred a zippered closure as I find those easier to handle when my hands are tired/swollen/cold.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this bag! I had originally been loyal to Dakine but after reading reviews of the suspension system used in Osprey I decided to give it a try. I absolutely love this bag! It's comfortable, practical and bonus, those colors are awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for 20L pack my 30L is a bit too big for non technical day hikes. I took it out for few hikes and am loving it! Super lightweight, good fit to the body, the side and back mesh pockets makes it more roomy than 20L. Pockets on shoulder straps are convenient. I don’t have a small bottle to fit in there but use it for my phone, sunscreen and energy bars. Hip belt also has pockets and good for small things. Yet to see the durability side but the functionality of the bag is really awesome and I highly recommend it.
